Advantages: PRICE, MEMORY, SOUND QUALITY, BATTERY LIFE (40+ HOURS!)

Disadvantages: DOES NOT SYNC WITH ITUNES, FUZZY FM RADIO

Without a doubt, this product is a serious contender for the Apple iPod Nano.
Relativity cheap compared to its competitor, with much better sound quality, especially when you buy the recommend Sony headphones that accompany it, it beats the iPod hands down. My only problem with it is that it it only works if you didn't have an iPod before hand. Any protected music you may have bought from the iTunes Store will not work on the product, although this is not such an issue now since the iTunes Store is now offering uncopyrighted music. However, if you were a fan of the sync feature that came with iPods, this will only work with Windows Media Player, which is not as good as iTunes, and so you may find that the product can be irritating, as if you want to put any music on it through iTunes it is a case of drag and drop. Still, with a huge memory and as light as a feather, it is defiantly worth the money.
